I'm Hungry!

The testing to determine if I have celiac is taking forever. I made the mistake of going off gluten last August, so any bloodwork has been negative but I am positive for the H.L.A. DQ2. The dr wants to do an endoscopy because any damage still may show up. 

 

Anyway, I was doing okay avoiding gluten until eating some BBQ from a restaurant. The same day, I ate eggs from another restaurant that tasted powdered, not like a fresh egg. The following day, my stomach was really crampy and I had a headache and felt off. 

 

This week I had dinner at a friends house. There were corn chips and a homemade dip that had no gluten. I ate that plus some BBQ chicken salad. Within an hour of eating, I got all hot and dizzy, felt like I was going to throw up. My stomach hasn't been right since and Im very tired. I never experienced the feeling of I'M GOING TO THROW UP RIGHT NOW.

 

It seems like my reactions to trace amounts of gluten are getting worse!

 

I am seriously afraid to eat anything. Im literally so hungry that my stomach is rumbling.

 

I guess my question is- do people grow more sensitive to gluten and get worse reactions? Does gluten make people throw up? Where in my meal was gluten hiding?

 

Help!

I am not sure where the gluten was hiding (too many variables to figure out where/how) but I will tell you this: your doctor is wrong if he thinks the biopsy will be valid after being off gluten for 9 months. Sorry, hon.

Consuming gluten for blood tests and biopsy is required. Maybe if it were 3-6 months, but it may not

give you a positive result now.

 

The presence of the DQ2 genes does not mean you have celiac. It means you may be at risk, if you

have a relative with celiac.

 

"Since 1/3 of the general population also have the genes  DQ2 or DQ8 , the presence of them does not imply that the person will develop celiac disease,"

Well eating out and eating at anyones house of course you can get CC'd , I think even at another Celiacs house you can be CC'd some are not as tight as others when it comes to CC'd , I went to my Daughters house and she was having a gluten-free pizza and a regular Pizza, I could not eat the gluten-free pizza anyway it had soy and corn. But I was watching her she put both small pizzas on the same cookie sheet, Then when she had to move them she used the same spatula. I said well even if I could of eaten it I couldn't now. Talk about CC!! She said yea well I know your not eating it. I would not of eaten it anyway because she had it on an older Cookie sheet. she never cover the cookie sheet with foil or anything.

Last time we went to grill with friends, I took my own chicken and a piece of foil to grill my chicken on so that it didn't touch the grill surface. Also took my own dip and my own chips and told them how sensitive I was. She got out new butter for the potatoes and it was a great evening! 

 

Your CC could've come from anywhere - the eggs, the BBQ sauce, it's just hard to tell. It could've come from a pot or even the grill.

 

I get awful abdominal cramping and then nausea and D for days. My stomach burns, my left eye swells and my foot hurts. And I'm dizzy/off kilter. And I can't complete a thought or a sentence. This is a short list - everyone's symptoms are different. If you know gluten is making you sick then you either have to do a gluten challenge for the test or tell your doc NO NO NO and then stay off of gluten. No way could I do a challenge, but that's just me!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous.

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia. going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 9...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
